For some unknown reason YouTube refuses to allow the video to be embedded on this site, unlike all the other videos. Just click on the image above and watch it over on YouTube. The model I'm looking at here is the 16 GB model, in black, and it sells for $219 USD as of September 2009.

Question, can the Zune software and Marketplace be used to get content onto a WM phone or is it the Zune hardware only? Would like to know if its possible to buy content on the unified marketplace on my Xbox 360 and get it onto my WM device.
